Have fun reprinting all your merchandise if the team happens to back into a championship. that's just a great opportunity to print more merch and make more money my man. though it's a pretty safe assumption they won't have to while snyder is still alive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rumored the helmet would have a white and yellow stripe side by side, which to me would make it more unique and cool A thing can't be "more unique." It's either unique or it isn't.

The only interesting part is the quadrant with the stars, and that just makes me think of Tennessee, not DC. It's like someone was wearing a hat with the stickers still on it, and the designer saw it and had an epiphany. Take this and divide each of the top and bottom to make it into quadrants. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike could bring in the greatest designers in the world and the final product would still be trash if the owner insists on trash We've seen teams that have been pretty firm in what they wanted though, and they've ended up pretty nice. Sorry, I just see too much of the same crap regurgitated here to say it's not a Nike production. 2 hours ago, tBBP said: And this right here is my major beef with the one-leaugue-supplier setup for the major pro leagues: they're all starting to look a little too homogenous. On top of that, with these guys, it's been more about advancing their design agenda and philosophy than highlighting the actual team itself aside from logos and colors. That, too, can ebb and flow with whatever trend they land on next. Exactly! It used to be the teams told the manufacturers what they wanted. Now the manufacturers are using teams to push their own design philosophies and ideas at the expense of team identities. The tail's been wagging the dog for years now. 10 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardWitham Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 honestly, especially if they go with the name they went with, i dont MIND them going military camo with one of the uniforms. this board always seems to hate when people try new things 2 Quote The Danimal said: Texas is the state that gave us George W.

Snyder in particular had already wanted to replace his team's classic look with clunky, trend-chasing, BFBS-laden "modern" uniforms since the Reebok era. He just finally had an excuse to do it with the name change. 3 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwuascenario Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Ridleylash said: Unfortunately, the problem is with it in place a lot of the popular throwbacks that would need new shells just can't happen (like Bucco Bruce or Pat Patriot), so it's kinda a lose-lose situation. Those teams are welcome to go back to those identities at any point. Until then, they should wear the brand that they've chosen to represent their team.

I think it's a complicated situation that depends on a number of things. The personalities of the people involved certainly plays into it. Nike has their own vision and philosophy. They're going to come in with that and try to push it. Then you have the teams. Do they know what they want? Do they have an idea but nothing concrete? Do they not know at all other then knowing they want a rebrand of some sort? Is the guy making the Nike pitches persuasive? Is the team rep a pushover or willing to hold firm to what the team wants? All of this and more likely plays a role in how these things play out, but I'm certainly not sold on the notion that the teams are 100% to blame. 'cause as I said earlier it should be a case where the manufacturer just does what they're told, rather than using teams and pre-established brands to push their own agendas. 4 minutes ago, Lights Out said: What makes you think the Rams and Commanders weren't firm in wanting garbage? I can buy that each team independently had bad ideas. What I find hard to believe is that they independently had the same bad ideas. It's the similar nature of these uniforms from a design philosophy standpoint that make me think the same person or team of people was behind both. IE Nike. 9 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Someday, there will be a uniform unveiling where the uniform is great, we all like it, and the only thing Nike says about it will be "yeah, we went with this because we thought it looked cooler than ."

I think that's what I loved about the Browns, Bucs, and Chargers rebrands from a year ago. The teams knew what they wanted so Nike speak was kept to a minimum. "We wanted a version of this old look because it was awesome." The more Nike speak there is the more they got involved. 11 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I don't know how to feel about the idea of alternate helmets. I like it for accurate throwbacks (the Bengals will finally be able to wear a 70's throwback if they so choose), and I like it for teams like the Bengals who could do something cool with it like a white tiger helmet, but we know thanks to this very unveiling that there will be a lot of really dumb looking designs for dumb teams who can't help themselves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
